27. How To Stay Disciplined and Focused


Listen Later

CONSISTENCY – Stay consistent by writing down your goals, getting really clear on what it is you want. It’s easy to get sidetracked when you are trying to stick to one thing. You need to FOCUS though, you’ve probably heard the acronym FOCUS – Follow one course until success. Stick to it and know what it is you are working towards.

DISCIPLINE – Discipline is about setting yourself up for success by making the tasks you want to complete as easy as possible. It’s partly about will power and partly about making smart decisions. In order to remain disciplined you want to do the following:

1.       Make your choices in advance, reduce decision fatigue

2.       Remove temptation, make it easy to be disciplined

3.       Make it who you are

4.       Measure your progress and successes, along with your failures. 

5.       Eat the frog first, mark twain said: "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." Do the hard things first and everything else will be easy. 

6.       Trick yourself into your discipline

7.       Find an accountability partner

8.       "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." - Zig Ziglar. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you fail, remember, tomorrow is another chance to do better.

Don’t be the person who looks, dreams, and never acts, be the person who looks, dreams, and achieves.
